- more than half the US states have land above the southernmost point of Canada. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 20:06
- shut up. prove it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 20:05 2
  - California's northern border is the 42nd Parallel -- (link) - znufrii, silly old man Jul 6, 20:08 1
    - Windsor being south of Detroit threw me for a loop when I learned it. -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 6, 20:10
I can’t figure how that works. Anchorage is less than 4000km from LA. It’s about 10000km from Cape York. - Roger More Jul 6, 20:01 7
- Anchorage to Australia < LA to Australia. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 20:06 2
  - yeah, I worded that poorly. distance from Anchorage to Australia is less than the distance from the continental US to Australia. -- nm - mafic Jul 6, 20:21
  - Oh, now that I look even closer... -- nm - Roger More Jul 6, 20:08
- only slightly tangential. Michelle Shocked, who i fucking loved in the 90s, started attacking me on twitter maybe 5 years ago. - loosilu Jul 6, 20:05 3
  - This seems a little more than “slightly” -- nm - Roger More Jul 6, 20:06 2
    - I don't have any words to describe how it felt. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 20:22 1
      - I'm just a little unclear on how it pertains to geography. Did I miss a pun? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 20:30
another one: Atlanta is closer to Chicago than Miami. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 19:34
